Distribution Requirements Planning
(DRP) extends the concept of MRP into the distribution
environment. Replenishment is based on forecasted
and actual demand at the end of the distribution
system and is accumulated backward, netting inventory
at each level to determine the replenishment requirements
at the subsequent level (which can be either a distribution
center or production site). The inherent increased
variability of demand at the end level of the distribution
system can be better anticipated and planned for
by DRP because of the extended visibility it provides
of the demand, inventory status and replenishment
requirements at all echelons of the Supply Chain.
PSI Planner also has Materials Requirements Planning
(MRP) capabilities, via its' Bill of Material function.
Production requirements can be exploded into their
raw material and component needs at the plant level
in addition to finished goods display requirements
at plants and distribution centers.
PSI Planner combines the capabilities of DRP along
with integrated Sales Forecasting and Master Production
Scheduling modules to create a powerful planning
tool!
PSI Planner is not only useful in managing inventory
in your own distribution system, but can also be
used to manage your customers' inventory in Efficient
Consumer Response (ECR) and Vendor Managed Inventory
(VMI) applications. |
